Saw a couple of comments today about the USGA "easing them into it" before the weekend. They're supposed to get more rain tomorrow, too.
I hated that they cut the fescue. If you can't hit a 60-yard fairway then you should be slashing in the hay. Fowler was danged impressive today and a boatload more at -4 or so.

I figure they'll move the tees around this weekend, especially if it rains today or tonight.
Honestly, I hate the way they fart around with the length, move the tee boxes around and make changes during the event. IMO they should have things set, other than the hole placement on the greens, and leave it.
Also wish they'd have a rotation like The Open with five or six courses and be done, instead of moving around. Pebble, Merion, Winged Foot, some of the classics. Let the PGA C'ship move around.

If ya'll wanted to see them hacking in the grass you should have hung around and watched Jason Day and Rory hacking it out of that grass. Day had two triple's.

That's fine with me. I just hate that the USGA capitulated this week and cut the fescue after all the bitching.
The players know what's coming. Nut up and go play. Quit bitching about it and then have the USGApussies do something drastic during tourney week.
That said, I think the USGA should have had at least a first-cut rough five yards wide or something. Those hard stalks still would have been tough to escape from. If you get out of that into the tall stuff then you're in the schitt for real.
JBC, that's 12 courses with great tradition and challenges for any pro or amateur good enough to qualify. I wonder what the criteria is for selecting the courses. Chambers Bay was "the" hot course and then hosted an Open but was panned for its baked cauliflower greens (which were shitty). Now we're at a second "course of the decade!" course in Wisconsin and hearing about the length, grass, etc.
Just seems weird. Maybe the private courses have had enough. If I was a player I'd rather say that I won at Merion or Winged Foot or Olympic than at Chambers Bay, although winning anywhere I guess would be nice.

Clem I don't disagree at all. I was watching the history of this 12 year old course and the first thing I wondered was how the hell did they get the Open. Yesterday I think it was Speith chuncked one that only hopped like a foot. If his caddy hadn't seen exactly where it went back in the grass he'd have never found the ball. This is the tournament that is supposed to make them play like that.

I think they built it specifically for getting the Open. Host it once and you're in forever as a course that hosted the U.S. Open - branding, eventually raising rates, marketing to the "come play the Open course!" crowd. Same as Chambers Bay. Milwaukee's had a great history with professional golf, of course. The Greater Milwaukee Open was a regular stop, and there are a lot of private clubs along with some pretty big money folks. Wisconsin has some gorgeous courses throughout the state, thanks to the sandy rolling land in some areas. The Open will be returning to the traditional courses in the next few years. So we've had decades of tradition, then the Chambers-Erin Opens and IMO "experiments" for the USGA to see the feedback, and now back to the traditional courses. I'd bet if the financial return to Chambers and Erin Hills is higher than expected for hosting, the USGA would look at other public venues like them. Maybe not. Who knows with the USGA? http://www.usga.org/articles/2015/07/usga-announces-2022--2023-and-2024-u-s--open-sites.html

I haven't kept up, to be honest, as much as I usually do.
Did y'all see where a spectator died today at the Open? They've had Mickelson withdraw, a blimp crash, the tall grass controversy and now a spectator has died. The USGA must be wondering if a tornado is going to arrive next.

Good looking place to bird hunt. Guess I'd like Ole Ern to win. Or Rickie.

For forever, the other Open was called the British Open. Ours, the U.S. Open I agree, The Open, is across the waters.
